    Fescue Hay and Field Grass

    My husband & I are having quite a time. Just before Christmas in Dec. he had an accident... fell off roof and broke arm badly.. then on to hospital to discover a possible serious heart condition. I just got out of hospital stay of 3 days for a possible heart attack. We are both or (were both...

    Fescue Hay and Field Grass

    I have been thinking that taking our mini's off the field and dry lot feeding them was actually keeping them fescue free. We have been giving them Orchard grass hay. One of the horses looks to be about 9 months pregnant. Our field grass is wild and is really not growing more than 2 inches at...

    My husband and I just watched that movie. I got it for his stocking for Christmas. We absolutely loved that movie.

    clicker training, treats, and biting

    I also work at having a connection with an animal and get them used to reading my expressions. I expect that horses are not much different in dogs in being in tune to what their masters are really desiring out of them (That is.. if we as the masters can get these animals to the place where they...

    clicker training, treats, and biting

    The clicker training will not be my cup of tea to use for our situation. I never needed to use it on our dog. She does all sorts of things by just our verbal commands, or reading our expressions and a strong desire to please us. We brought home the leader of the pack so this was the hardest...

    Help with pawing, please

    Well I certainly don't know a lot about horses and how to correct horse behavior. I have done well with other animals in ending unwanted behaviors. Our little silver bay has been doing this at the gate when I go to get her feed. She obviously has been corrected for this before as she will stop...

    Lice? Question re: ivermectrin zimecterin and other suggestions?

    It is logical to think that taking something internally will make a difference on a blood sucking insect. For some reason, mosquitoes do not like my blood much at all. They will swarm all around me but rarely bite me. I don't wear perfume or lotions either. I believe it has something to do...

    Yeah! Jewel has foaled a 'fool day' filly 4.1.13

    I will try and get some more photos soon of her and her belly.

    Thanks so much. We want to give them a good home. We love them. My husband and I both love spending time together with them.

    Yeah! Jewel has foaled a 'fool day' filly 4.1.13

    Oh my word! Do I deserve such a fine horse? This was a long way to search this out via a few leads I had but I do believe that it is correct information on our Jewel horse and that the woman who sent Jewels colts picture to me thru email had no reason to make that up since she is a well known...

    Yeah! Jewel has foaled a 'fool day' filly 4.1.13

    So.. if she indeed came out of Foxglove's Miniatures from Springfield Or.. that was evidently a very nice ranch of top quality mini horses.. learning so much and perhaps someone on this forum knows more on the place where she came from. I did inquire as to what ranch she came out of or ended up...

    Yeah! Jewel has foaled a 'fool day' filly 4.1.13

    Oh Thank you so much for doing this. I don't have the registered name for Jewel .. other than the verbal knowledge from previous owner that she is the dam of Foxgloves Jupiter Conquest and I tho't that perhaps (Aaprinas in Rowdys Jupiter Mist) might have been her registered name since she is...

    I Think Our Mini is Quite Prego. What Do You Think?

    Well.. I have been doing some investigating on what little info i have on these horses. The little Bay horse .. she is a mystery but did come out of the same ranch as Jewel at which I was told was a retired ranch called Foxglove Miniatures out of Oregon.The trainer that ended up with these...

    Yeah! Jewel has foaled a 'fool day' filly 4.1.13

    So supposedly, Jewel's Colt (if it is truly the one in the photos that was emailed to me from the previous owner) is Jupiter Conquest out of Foxglove Ranch and there is a utube video of him under Scott Creek videos with his fuzzy winter coat on. Yes.. looks like his dam, Jewel but the dams...

    Yeah! Jewel has foaled a 'fool day' filly 4.1.13

    I don't know who the sire was but I am sure it was of good quality. The ranch that both of these horses came out of were retiring and their trainer of Meridian training Center ended up with these horses and only had them a few days before she sold them to us. She is exceptional with horses and...

    Yeah! Jewel has foaled a 'fool day' filly 4.1.13

    I do have a picture of one of Jewels last colt of 2 years ago that was showed to a Regional Grand Champion (Very nice colt) and I have seen that same photographers signature show up on some of the professional horse photos on this forum...but I don't think I can post it as I am sure it is...

    Yeah! Jewel has foaled a 'fool day' filly 4.1.13

    Tonight just now actually- my husband and I saw Jewel's baby belly on the right side having some hard baby kicks. There was definitely some active movement inside and when I rubbed my hand over her belly, I felt several hard firm movements confirming it in our minds that she is prego. So here we...

    I Think Our Mini is Quite Prego. What Do You Think?

    Diane, Thank you so much for that offer. I am not sure of their registered names. They came with names of Jewel and Sparkles. When I inquired more, the woman who had them before me didnt know but told me that they were registered out of a retiring ranch from Eugene, Oregon. I am not even...

    I Think Our Mini is Quite Prego. What Do You Think?

    Oh and about Sparkles, Because her hair is so thick.. It is very hard for me to feel her for her weight but I think she is on the thin side. I have no knowledge if she has ever foaled before but I expect that she has as she came from a ranch that bred mini's. Both of these horses were cared...

    I Think Our Mini is Quite Prego. What Do You Think?

    Oh thank you so much for all your wonderful encouraging comments. Both of these girls are 7 years old. They came out of a retired ranch in Oregon. (Not the rescue ranch area) as they were from I believe some fairly responsible breeders. Unfortunately we do not know much about them as the...
